On June 17, emboldened by the joining of some of the nobility and the clergy, the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly of France, imploring the remainder of the Estates-General to join the Assembly but also vowing to do the business of France with or without them.

While the National Assembly formed without the king's permission, the Assembly considered itself to be acting in the king's interests and originally they declared all their laws subject to royal approval. Among the laws the Assembly enacted in these first days were acts claiming the prior taxation laws to be illegal and making promises to institute new, fairer legislation, though in order to pay French debt they kept the old tax laws in place until something better could be devised.
